How to survive A-Levels...

I lied. I apologise for this glimpse of hope I may have given you but...you simply cannot survive.

A - Levels will swallow you, chew you up and spit you out. Repeatedly.

I apologise once again for my pessimism but ask any A-Level student and they will repeat my statement. I don't know a single person who has enjoyed A-Levels or who has not been negatively effected by them. Of course they are worth the struggle and pain but that's afterwards...and I simply haven't reached that stage yet.

Before I started partaking in A-Levels I had been told that there was a jump between GCSEs and A-Levels. And by "jump" I thought they meant a small jump, maybe the equivalent of jumping from Birmingham to London , not a bloody jump from London to Sydney! A-Levels make GCSEs look like play group where you mess around with play dough and draw pretty pictures...

With my summer exams fast approaching, my brain is basically going into overdrive every single day. "Sleep is for the weak!" I proclaim as I open yet another text book and highlight to my hearts content...at one in the morning. This is an average action of the typical A-Level student...or maybe just me?

Truth is, A-Levels are becoming the bane of my life, if you haven't already guessed but I'm staying positive! My summer is looking rather delightful and these exams will definitely have an impact on my life so I need to work hard, no doubt about that. Just thought I'd give you all a little insight into my brain right now...

Natasha!
